====''Archie Bunker's Place''==== {{main|Archie Bunker's Place}} When ''All in the Family'' ended after nine seasons, ''Archie Bunker's Place'' continued in its place and ran for four additional years. Longtime friend and original series star Jean Stapleton appeared as Edith Bunker on the new show, but made only five guest appearances in Season 1. Stapleton decided she did not want to continue in the role, and in the second-season premiere, her character died of a stroke, leaving Archie to cope with the loss. At the time, O'Connor was receiving $200,000 an episode, making him one of the highest paid stars on television.<ref>{{cite book|title=Guinness Book of Records 1982|last1=McWhiter|first1=Norris|author-link=Norris McWhirter|publisher=Guinness Superlatives Ltd|year=1981|isbn=0-85112-232-9|page=113}}</ref> The show was canceled in 1983. O'Connor was angered about the show's cancellation, maintaining that the show ended with an inappropriate finale.{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} He would later work for CBS again when he starred in ''[[In the Heat of the Night (TV series)|In the Heat of the Night]]'' on [[NBC]] and they decided not to renew the series. CBS allowed the series to continue for two more years and have a proper ending.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-xpm-1992-02-25-9202230605-story.html|title = CBS Grabs 'Heat of the Night,' but NBC May Want It Back| date=February 25, 1992 }}</ref>
